"GoodFellas" cast to reunite at Tribeca Film Festival

The cast of Martin Scorsese's "GoodFellas" will reunite for the film's 25th anniversary at the Tribeca Film Festival.

The festival announced Wednesday that a re-mastered version of the gangster film classic will close the 14th annual Tribeca Film Festival on April 25. Following the screening at New York's Beacon Theatre, Jon Stewart will host a conversation with Scorsese and the cast, including Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, Lorraine Bracco, Ray Liotta and Paul Sorvino.

"I was so excited to learn that this picture, now 25 years old, would be closing this year's Tribeca Film Festival. Excited and moved. It was an adventure to get it on screen--we wanted to make a movie that was true to Nick Pileggi's book and to the life of Henry Hill and his friends, which means that we broke some rules and took some risks," Scorsese said in a statement. "So it's heartening to know that 'GoodFellas' has come to mean so much to so many people. It's wonderful to see one of your pictures revived and re-seen, but to see it closing Tribeca, a festival of new movies, means the world to me."

De Niro, who co-founded the Tribeca Film Festival, added: "I was most proud of this film 25 years ago and equally proud of it now."

The festival runs April 15-26. Go here for more information on this year's lineup.
